Confederate scout, to be delivered at the
Opera House OH Tuesday evening next, for

Legal Contest Over Land Coded to Several
Corporations for Railway Purposes.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
NATION, March 11.-An old suit, involving
the title to thirty acres of land within the cor
porate limits Of this city, has just been rein
stated in the courts, and evidence is being taken
again concerning the claims of the interested
parties. The strip of land in dispute is 300 feet
wide and 1000 feet long, extending from the
center Of the city on the south side Of the right
of way of the L & st. L. railway and almost to
the city limits the west. When the St.
Louis. Alton & Terre Haute Railway Company
first reached Nation, Mr.. Moves decided the strip
to this company and the Illinois Central Rail-
way Company on condition that they build and
maintain freight depot, sdings, etc.. upon it.
The Alton company erected a large depot build
ing, but did not occupy it. The Illinois Central
company decided the land back to Noyes, who
gained possession of the depot building and
portion of the ground, but the St L. 81 r. FL.
company forclbly maintained possession of
most of the land. In 1867 the warehouse was
burned, and a decree rendered by Judge Gal
lagher. of Decatur, settled the case for num-
of years, but this decree is found to be very
faulty, and the courts will again have to hear
the evidence It is knotty case, and the land
involved is now very valuable. Attorney John
T. Dye represents the Indianapolis e. St. Louis,
and H. A. Neal, of Charleston, the St L. & T.
H., and and long contest is anticipated.
